[00:00.00]Valley Of Kilbride - The Once
[00:21.23]On the battle field in sunny France
[00:28.37]A hero brave did stand;
[00:35.22]He thought of friends he loved so well
[00:42.05]In dear old Newfoundland
[00:49.21]When a vision bright did gain his view
[00:56.11]The dear old riverside
[01:03.10]And the home he loved in boyhood days
[01:09.86]In the Valley of Kilbride
[01:17.13]A comrade he lay wounded
[01:23.85]Lay dying on the field
[01:30.92]Those plucky Newfoundlanders
[01:37.98]They died before they yielded
[01:44.97]On no man's land they rushed across
[01:51.88]Where shot and shell do fly
[01:58.88]On no man's land they rushed across
[02:05.82]You could hear their charging cry
[02:12.92]No coward's blood runs through their veins
[02:20.03]They'll conquer now or die
[02:27.03]They gained the front line trenches
[02:33.25]From the enemy that day;
[02:40.86]While on their left or on their right
[02:47.40]Machine guns they did fly
[02:54.52]When the dying comrade raised his head
[03:01.66]A signal to draw night
[03:08.87]There's another girl who waits for me
[03:15.89]And thinks that I'll come home;
[03:22.75]Go and tell her that in Bowring Park
[03:29.69]We never more shall roam
[03:36.47]We never more shall meet on earth
[03:43.17]Since you and I must part
[03:50.45]Still her memory lingers yet
[03:57.32]Within my bleeding heart
[04:02.44]There's a photo that she gave to me
[04:10.68]Lies closely by my side
[04:17.11]You can scarcely recognize it now
[04:24.43]For with my blood it's dyed;
[04:30.84]You can scarcely recognize it now
[04:38.05]But you will be sure to know
[04:44.87]It's a photograph she gave to me
[04:52.02]Just a few short months ago
[05:01.37]On the battle field in sunny France
[05:08.43]A boy from Newfoundland
